Ethical conduct

If you are seeking a criminal justice degree, you should know that this field requires a high standard of ethical behavior. If you see yourself being unable to maintain the expected ethical standard, you should consider changing your course of study.

Cheating and plagiarism are just two examples of academic misconduct, or unethical conduct. Being charged with a criminal offense raises the possibility of behavioral misconduct or unethical conduct that may very likely cause you to fail assignments, fail the course, be removed from study in the Criminal Justice Department and-or be expelled from CSU.

Remember also that most occupations require letters of recommendation and referral before you can be hired. Most professors will not provide such letters if the ethical standard of the criminal justice discipline has not been met. Little leniency is given in particular incidents. The choice is yours. (See CSU's Student Handbook for more on academic and behavioral misconduct).
